Nice intro story. I think the term used for that is the "Butterfly Effect"...re: when one small thing leads to another slightly bigger thing... and so on....
Amazing as always, Watching you work the lathe is like watching Bob Ross paint some happy trees,,Milling some happy backing plates!! Thanks for Posting Mr Brodie
paul brodie Bob Ross paints the most naive pictures I’ve ever seen. Who takes him seriously? His ‘style’ is like the things that got sold in carpet stores in the 1970s. Today you couldn’t get $5 for one if you threw in blender - and offered to rent out your kids to cut their lawns for a year! Your work is both practical and close enough to the professionally made original to be indistinguishable, and deserve considerable acclaim. Now I’m going to Google Bob Ross pairings value.
Nothing better than hearing someone else tell their "bitten by the roadracing bug" story! Makes me feel slightly better about myself!!!! My wife wont ever understand of course, but she doesnt complain when I come home with a third TIG welder or milling machine LOL
Greetings, I am intrigued by your Excelsior bikes, and love your current Aermacchi project. One thing I like is your approach to the project. You’re not a trained engineer or machinist, but you don’t let that stand in your way. You apply the knowledge you have, learn what you need to, and move ahead, solving problems as they present themselves. It’s fascinating to watch you work your way ahead. I appreciate you showing us your mistakes, and how you deal with them. I would suggest you watch videos by Allen Millyard. His engine projects are amazing. His current project is a tribute to the Honda six cylinder Grand Prix bikes of the 1960’s. He has been dealing with fabrication of the frame and suspension components, and recently showed how he built the gearshift and brake arms. His videos might provide some insight into how he approaches problems similar to your own. I would also suggest videos by Michael Waller. He builds mostly trials bikes, but I find his videos fascinating. Let’s be careful out there.
Hi James, yes I subscribe to Allen Millyard. Amazing what he can do with a hand hacksaw and a Tig welder. I will check out Michael Waller; have not heard of him but I am into trials bikes! Thanks for watching!
Paul, I have had such a fun time watching your creative processes, and when you say I have never done this before I sit back and smile. Fantastic work shop by the way.
As much as it irks me to say this, a CNC machine could have made light work of that job. But it’s a genuine pleasure to watch you figure it out freehand in real time, then machining it old school. Really inspiring. Have you seen the hub 46 Works made? It’s nice too. Thank you for sharing
wonderful video as always Paul and Mitch. Can't wait to see it after the porting is done on the air scoop. I have a very similar shaft driven porting tool that's from the 70's. Wonderful tool to have around for times like these.
Jeez Paul, so informative watching a true craftsman. I'm a cabinet maker, so I get it, I think. I have a 65 Sprint, with a 67 motor, that I'm trying to restore and put back on the road, the engine has been gone over by an Aerimacci specialist who tells me it has a racing cam,dont know the bikes history but is this possible? Motor runs great,otherwise the parts I have are standard for both machines. Is the 67 fork design better, improved over 65? If you don't have time to answer, understood, no worries. Just watching a motorcycle man like yourself pass along knowledge is awsome. Cheers brother!
Hi. Yes, it is possible to have a racing cam in your motor, but if everything else is stock it makes very little sense.. I would say that both forks are the same, that would be my opinion. Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you liked the sound of those 2 pipes, because I never did like the look. You're not Eddie Mulder, the famous racer from the late 60's are you?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge I am learning a lot. His work is of the highest quality. Congratulations and may God bless you with great health and wisdom to continue sharing your knowledge. Thank you very much, Mr. Paul.
The 350cc engine was a good fit for the Rickman Metisse which was a good frame in its day. TR2s signed the death warrant for it and the Manx Nortons etc.
@@paulbrodie Paul you are excellent at making your back plate you have the image in your head keep 👍 up all of your great work bye and good Tuesday night to you from #YSW
The freestyle machining on the mill is pretty cool. When the part jumped I thought you might've added clamps for anti-rotation in that fixture but it would've been cumbersome. Faster to do what you did, and the bozo marks disappeared anyway.
awesome content. The new camera seems to have better lens since videos seems brighter but there seems to be some light adjustment flikering happening some times
I'm a little late to the party but catching up quickly. Very skilled and love the indepth content. Watching a little out of sync and seen you respond to feedback personal protection - you've achieved so much in your career and hobbies, including retaining all 8 fingers and both thumbs ... 7 mins in, thought that was about to change 😁 #brodiestyle
Bolting to an adjustable angle plate would of made your setup more rigid. I picked a big old one that needed refurb very cheaply and use it to hold cylinder heads when doing valve guides and such. They are quality items available for little more than scrap value. Has a neat feature in that there is a dowel pin that locks it solid at 5 degree increments for quick and accurate setting up. I know it's cheating but the five axis CNC helps too, but still love doing jobs by manual control like you do. Thanks for the great and inspiring content.
Both ends close at exactly the same time, and they are equal length, so if one end is on either side of a 1/2" plate, the opposite end will be open exactly 1/2". Make sense?
Can you do a show on the hand tool you use and what to look for when buying them I kill my files .You do allot of fab with files grinder etc but the best advice you gave me always think of a way to clamp you work though out the processes.
I buy high quality hand files. Not the cheap ones. Small ones cost me $12 each. Never lay files on top of each other, Always place them on a shelf with a space between them, Never clean them with a file card- use a piece of soft aluminum to clean them.
Certainly not a part I would have ever attempted but your sure doing a great job and Mitch's camera work makes it very enjoyable to watch. Paul will you be in Topeka the end of May for for the vintage races?
Another great video, I find your workshop style nice and relaxing and I learned some things. My father who was a fitter turner toolmaker in the navy always told me not to "climb mill" ie use the tool the way it wants to grip and pull itself along.... you seemed to get away with it so maybe it's not an issue? One other way you could have saved another really small mount of weight was to make you bronze bush thinner walled or perforated. Love your work.
Thank you Gavin. Climb milling works well for some manual milling operation, I just have to be careful how much of a cut I am taking. Yes, I now wish I had made the bronze bushing a little thinner...
There will be no part 3. It's time to get the intake system happening. Mitch's new camera is more sophisticated, and we all like new tools from time to time.
Yay, part two ;o) 7:30~, made me jump, thought you'd lost a finger! Thought it was a bit 'ambitious' with only a single centre bolt holding things Surprised you haven't made a fixture to allow rotary table to be set at an angle? (the weight of rotary table would help stabilise even a relatively light jig?) Interesting story about 250 racer getting you into racing, Around 1978 I was at Llandow (South wales UK) on my almost new CB550F1 and there was a Aermacchi 250 racer there being set up. (track had not be reopened at the time) 250 single was almost as quick as the 550 to around 80~85 mph with a 'top end' over 100mph which really surprised me. I like the 'evolution' approach, I tend to do the same but would probably nave incorporated some fins as on Moto Guzzi and MV Augusta's, the section can be a lot thinner as the 'fins prevent twisting and distortion (only thought about it as I was watching). I also use round aluminium soffit vents to keep 'boy scouts' out of brake drums (what would happen if we put some gravel in this hole?) At Daytona a few years ago I saw a 'CB 160' racer with all the 'sheet' parts of back plate cut away, basically just the centre rhomboid left to hold brake shoes
I haven't had to have the rotary table at an angle before... so, haven't considered a fixture. It worked out ok in the end. Yes, Aermacchis can be surprisingly fast. My little 350 was as quick as the slow Vintage 750's. I chased them many times. I liked it when they checked to see how close I was. And I was always close!
@@paulbrodie LOL, that's why I had Honda CB360's for the last 16 years, (bored to 378cc) way more fun chasing $20,000+ 'Paul Smart Replica Ducati with mediocre rider on a $200 'red haired stepchild' of a bike
@@paulbrodie Just a bit but the Ducati thing was about 10 years ago on the street. There are a few area's in central Florida where the roads get quite twisty through old orange groves without a long enough straight to use the power of the Duc, (back to being 19 yr old 'hooligan' LOL) I really should have grown out of it by now
@@mitchellnurseproductions - oh that makes sense, looks great Mitch! Did you find a color profile you liked? Eterna was a favourite of mine. My biggest gripe with that cam is how the ISO flickers a little when it’s on auto. But it’s a rad camera all around
@@paulbrodie I probably have 14 guns in my safe and two of them are pellet guns. I've used them to teach my children and grandchildren, both girls and boys, all about gun safety and how to shoot. I also have one in my workshop for rodents etc, never underestimate the humble pellet gun 👍
Paul: not to discount your amazing effort, Would there be an advantage on a road race bike to have the front brake double leading shoe? I notice the earlier sport bikes used them.
Great video. Your skills are amazing. On the subject of the new camera. The new camera seems a bit less vibrant in the colors of the image, it also seems to quite frequently make noticible auto focus corrections as compared to the previous camera.
@@mitchellnurseproductions I was just about to comment on this, the autofocus is also making the image wobble. Is the DOF shallower on this lens also? I haven't reacted to the background being as soft before, but on the other hand I was kind of looking at the videography more critical now :) Anyhow, you're doing a great job Mitch!
@@mitchellnurseproductions I also noticed some automatic exposure adjustments, or was it some other trickery? Mind you, none of the video is bad, just those small things and you're gold!
@@folxam I didn’t have it on automatic. I try to keep everything in manual as much as possible. But in those cases I was switching the ISO during filming. Paul’s milling and lathe lights combined with the shiny aluminum makes for a harsh bright spot on the camera.
Obviously your shop automation scheme is the rarely seen precursor to CNC known to the trade as BMC (Brodie Manual Control), a system only produced in the mid 1950s on a very limited run
I would prefer it if you didn't speed up the video during lathe/mill operations. If I get bored watching a task, I can always skip ahead a bit, but I learn less if the video is sped up.
Years ago I did some research into how to pronounce Aermacchi, and it is not easy to do it very well. I was told that the "r" gets rolled just a little bit. So, I might not say it perfectly, but it works for me, and you are the first person to let me know you are not happy with my pronunciation. But, thanks for watching.
I made a simple tool that will raise the Milling Machine table rather quickly with almost no effort. I took a length of Sturdybroach and welded a short length of same diameter steel rod to it, then turned the end of the rod down to 1/2" dia. to go in a portable drill chuck. Then you have a cheap Z axis drive. If you're not familiar with Sturdybroach, it is a short (say 3") length of steel rod with a square hole broached lengthwise in it. My mill has a 5/8" square Z axis drive that takes a small cast iron handle so I used that size Sturdybroach. Saves a lot of time in raising the milling table. Sturdybroach is sold by greenbaymfgco.com and its fairly cheap. To see what it looks like, go to mrpete222 and look at tubalcain VLOG # 19.
A moment of great relief at 24 minutes.
Nice intro story. I think the term used for that is the "Butterfly Effect"...re: when one small thing leads to another slightly bigger thing... and so on....

Bolting to an adjustable angle plate would of made your setup more rigid. I picked a big old one that needed refurb very cheaply and use it to hold cylinder heads when doing valve guides and such.

If you sacrifice, or make, a section of female splines you'll have your 6.???° indexer.
Yes, I do need to make a brake arm with those splines at 11.613 degrees :)
Very cool video, Thanx
I made a simple tool that will raise the Milling Machine table rather quickly with almost no effort. I took a length of Sturdybroach and welded a short length of same diameter steel rod to it, then turned the end of the rod down to 1/2" dia. to go in a portable drill chuck. Then you have a cheap Z axis drive. If you're not familiar with Sturdybroach, it is a short (say 3") length of steel rod with a square hole broached lengthwise in it. My mill has a 5/8" square Z axis drive that takes a small cast iron handle so I used that size Sturdybroach. Saves a lot of time in raising the milling table. Sturdybroach is sold by greenbaymfgco.com and its fairly cheap. To see what it looks like, go to mrpete222 and look at tubalcain VLOG # 19.
Thanks. I will start an investigation.
